To aZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, HENRY O. GILL, a citizen of the United States,residing at Madison, in the county of Lake and State of Ohio, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Harness Orown-Terrets,of which the following is a specification, reference being had thereinto the accompanying drawings.

This invention has relation to crown-terrets; and it consists in soconstructing and arranging the parts as to produce an improved articleof vmanufacture, as will be hereinafter fully de scribed, and pointedout in the claim appended.

Referring by letter to the accompanying drawings, Figurel represents afront view, and Fig. 2 a vertical sectional View, of the terret.

A designates the terret, the upper portion of which consists of anannular frame, in which a plate, a, is pivoted to swing through theopening in said annular frame. frame is supported on a shank, I), casttherewith, and below this shank b, and cast therewith, is a rectangularguide frame or base, having a rectangular opening, 0, for thestay-billets, overcheck-rein, or both, as may be desired.

The under side of the guide-frame is provided with the threaded portion(1 for the reception This annular of a nut that secures the crown-terretto the headstall. By this construction the rein or billet opening orspace is brought close to the headstall and the strain upon the terretis greatly lessened. A terret provided with a rectangular space near itsupper end and a circular space near a convex base, from which a threadedshank projects downwardly, has been used for round or flat reins, andsuch a device I do not claim.
